Agreed!

ive also sent of the £189 and also got my reply back today, but i wonder how I will afford to pay the £395 registration fee plus the lawyer costs this first time, money's been really tight this year and im still going into and out of my student overdraft (ive still got it), id be really stuck if the bank found out I was in full time employment and no longer technically a student.

btw how much are the lawyer costs ive not really looked into that, and what other hidden costs are there except for the registration fee? if people could please help!!!

When you first register you don't pay the full yearly fee, you pay a bit under half of it. Not sure what lawyers fees you have to pay though - I didn't have to pay any and it's not something my pre-reg has mentioned.

Re student accounts - most banks reduce your interest free overdraft gradually after you graduate. I graduated in 2005 and somehow still have a £1500 interest free overdraft available to me.
